"Programmers" writes, "How can I do an AND function in RPG starting from integers with a value from 0 till 255? The only function that I have found that could do the job is BITOFF. But how can I put an integer (3U) into a character (1A) for this function? MOVE of an integer with value 255 to a character will give '5' instead of X'FF'." TSCHMITZ has run into something similar and provides a service program to help.
